Default Any HONDA tech's ?? cold start rattle problem

my mum has a 2005 honda crv petrol, its started to have a rattle on cold start up ( lasts about 10 seconds ).

sounds like a oil problem at the top of the engine its had tappets adjusted, compressions test all ok, oil pressure all ok, but still does it.

anyone heard of this problem or know what it could be ?

can i put thicker oil in ?

When were the tappets last done, if they are not correwct then they can rattle really bad until oil is round the engine.

Had the similiar issue with her vti civic, had a supposed mate who knew how to do the tappets properly. Then i sent it to a honda specialist who reset the tappets again and now its fine and also runs better. Not to sure if the crv has solid lifters or not though.
